Copy i-movie event to USB Harddrive

Evening Everyone,
I'm hoping to share some of my video clips with a friend so he can combine his vids with mine to make a final cut on his Mac.
I've already sorted all the video's in my event and removed all the junk footage but I cant figuire out how to copy the event to an external hard drive.
Any support would be greatly appreciated (Dummys guide would be most suitable)
Using intel IMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 AND IMOVE '11.
thanks
James

  • Cannot move or copy Projects or Events to external drive

    Short version: I have a project that I have been working on for a few months. Now that it's burned off to DVD, I want to store the whole thing on an External (Seagate) drive, in case I want to come back to it later. (For now, it's just sucking up space on the internal drive).
    I have done this before, even a few months ago with another project, but now the commands don't seem to work:
    Internal hard drive has the Project Files.
    Referenced Event files (some stills, other video clips, etc.) are on the Internal drive, and some on the External (Seagate) drive.
    I tried to "Copy to..." the Event folder to an external drive's Library, but I get a quick "Rendering..." and then nothing.
    I tried to "Move to..." the Event folder to an external drive's, but I get a quick "Rendering..." and then nothing.
    I tried to drag-Move one of the Project folders from the internal Library to the external drive, and it looked like it was moving, but after a while, I did NOT see the Project either in the Internal Library OR in the External drive Library!!! I had actually LOST the Project! (I was able to restore the project from a Time Machine backup from a few days ago... but at least one of the Media Clips is now missing!).
    I have heard that you cannot (or should not) have more than one Final Cut Pro Library on a single drive, so I also used a 500GB external LaCie USB powered drive to recover the "old" version of the main Library from Time Machine... then copied the restored backup Event into the main Library. THIS WORKED! But I cannot then copy anything OUT from my Main Library!!
    I am running a 2014 MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM, 1TB internal drive.
    OS 10.9.3
    FCP 10.1.1
    External drive is a 1TB Seagate USB 3.0 connection
    I have fixed Permissions, Checked the Drive(s) even rebuilt the Volume (using TechTool Pro 7.0.4), but nothing seems to be "wrong." I just can't get the Events adn Projects to Copy or Move!
    Thanks for your help!

    I did this to transfer my mess of media management on my old Mac Pro to my new Mac Pro.
    I highly recommend that you not use the Move command, but only use the Copy command. I accidentally used the Move command and then it was sitting there with the "Render" thing that you mentioned and I thought it was not doing anything, so I cancelled and that didn't do anything, so I forced quit. BIG MISTAKE.
    When I fired FCP X back up, my huge feature film project had a couple hundred missing clips, because it was in the process of moving them to the other drive and the links were all hosed.
    I had to go through and reconnect it all, which took about a day.
    What I did was I drag and dropped the project files into the event that held the media for that project. I then used the Copy to command. This worked even though it sometimes looked like it wasn't doing anything. It would take a very long time. Walk away from the system. You will see the 100% notification in FCP X when it's done. It will just have a spinning wheel there for several minutes when you first start the command.
    It took me a couple days to get everything over, but it worked. Now, my new Mac Pro has clean media management with a Library for each project on an external drive and everything is self contained in that library and none of the media is linked, it's all contained in the library. I think this is the best method for handling media in FCP X just in case you need to move it again or back it up (just drag and drop the library).
    Just my opinion. Good luck.

  • Event won't copy or move to another library

    Hey there,
    Having an issue with Final Cut Pro X Version 10.1.3.
    For some reason, when I try to copy a certain event into another library, nothing happens. Final Cut doesn't even show any activity in the Media Management category or any other. I've tried both Copy and Move. The window pops up asking about Optimized or Proxy media. I've tried clicking either and both. Final Cut then acts like its opening that event and then...nothing. It's not that its finished. The event isn't on the new library.
    I've tried Consolidating files, and it says "there are no files to consolidate." Still nothing when I try to copy/move the event. I've tried copying another event from the same hard drive and that works fine. Its just this particular event for some reason.
    What else can I do?
    About my Mac Pro (late 2013):
    OS X 10.9.5
    3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
    32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 RAM
    AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
    Serial: F5KM80QAF9VN
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I can't see anything on the screen shot that offers any clues. Possibly someone else will spot something.
    Have you checked the available storage space on  the drive where the top library lives to make sure there is room for the copied library?
    Russ
    PS: I assume you're not literally tried to copy the event into another event, but rather you meant library.

  • Security issue copying from local USB harddrives to local laptop.

    This is strange. My boss has a new laptop and is running Windows 8.1 x64 as a Standard user. I copied a bunch of data from my PC(windows 8.1 x64) to a USB harddrive. I put the USB harddrive on her PC and tried to copy it to her Pictures
    folder. I got an error that I don't have permissions...? This stumped me.  If I share the USB harddrive from my PC, she can access it and copy the files to her laptop fine.
    Today, I coped 2 files from my PC to a USB flash drive.  I logged into my bosses laptop as Domain Admin.  After inserting the USB flash drive, I couldn't copy the 2 file from the USB flash drive to the laptop C:\ or even to

    if you format the USB stick with exFAT it should be less problematic compared to NTFS
    its clearly a permissions issue

  • Copying .mov files to usb

    I have a macbook pro and want to copy a 6Gb and 11Gb .mov file to usb to transfer to a windows laptop.  Max I can copy on Fat 32 is 4 GB. 
    Can you help please.  I am using maverick OS.

    Hi there, this is a common compatability issue with using both windows and mac but thankfully theres a way around it, you have to re format youre usb to a later format called ExFAT, this format will allow you to transfer files of all sizes. please follow these steps. if it becomes a bit confuesing, please let me know and i will provide some screen shots.
    1. connect youre usb to youre mac computer.
    2. back up anything thats on youre usb device.
    3. open up spotlight on the top right hand corner of youre screen and type in "disk utility"
    4. once opened you will see a pannel on youre right hand side with all of youre hardrives and usb flash drives, locate the one you want to use and left click on it.
    5. on the right hand side the will be  5 pannels " first aid. erase, partistion, raid, restore.   the one you want to click on is erase.
    6. you will now see and option for format, select ExFAT and then click on erase.
    and thats it you can now transfer files of any size.

  • Hi, how do I copy a movie that I downloaded, onto my memory stick that is in my usb connection?

    Hi there, how do I copy a movie that I downloaded onto my memory stick that is plugged into my usb connection?

    Goto finder, you'll see your usb in there. Then open another finder window, locate the file, and just drag the movie onto your memory stick.
    Really easy =)
    @shldr2thewheel, it would have been far easier if you just answered the question. He didn't state the name of it, nor where he downloaded it from. Clearly your making an assumption that it was illegaly downloaded.

  • Can you move events from one drive to another easily?

    I've just bought an external firewire drive to dedicate to my Sony HD camcorder material.
    I've only imported 30 mins or so of stuff onto the Mac's internal drive with iMovie '08, and would like to know if anyone's managed to easily copy 'events' from one drive to another to merge/split content.
    Is it just a case of copying event folders from the iMovie Events folder to the external drive, but if so do you have to specify a particular path?
    Similarly, can you just move the individual 'Projects' or archive to DVD etc as they will invariably take up lots of space for longer footage? Does the projects file just hold references to the assembled clips, in which case moving events would scupper things as I seem to have several movie files in there already though these may just be things I uploaded to .Mac to test out.
    This may all be a bit of trial and error. Hopefully clips are only references unlike the pretty huge but self-contained iMovie 6 HD project packages. This also raises issues about how to easily backup all your 'events'.
    AC

    Observation:
    Just imported 15mins of video from the Sony.
    When you click import you are asked which drive to save to.
    As well as the Mac's internal drive, all my attached USB drives which are formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) appear as targets to save to as well as teh Firewire drive.
    I selected the Firewire drive and don't recall an option to create a sub-folder. After import a new top level folder of iMovie Events was created, but no others.
    Presumably iMovie Projects/Shared folders only exist on the boot drive.
    I'm assuming that this structure will allow you to share movie Events between Macs using external drives.
    Again, an assumption but I suspect iMovie scans all available suitable hard drives and checks what content is available in top level iMovie Events folders for non-boot drives as well as this folder in the user's Movies folder.
    Rambling observations over for now.

  • How do I move Events from one user to the other?

    I have two users on my PowerBook G4 and in preparation of moving all to a new MacBook Pro I want to move the pictures of one user to the other user. I've tried copying them and was successful but the Events did not copy, rather all 530 photos copied as one Event. How do I copy the photos and maintain the Events?

    iPhoto Library Manager is recommended on here many times every day. I can't recall anyone mentioning a significnt issue with it.

  • My external hard drive will not show up in iMovie 10.0.4.  How do I copy my movies into it?

    My Mac OSX 10.9.4 has both iMovie 10 and iMovie 9. I've started uploading all of my videos from my camera to iMovie 10 and have not worried about my external hard drive. Now it's been a couple months of putting those videos onto iMovie 10 and I just connected my external hard drive and it doesn't show up in sidebar anywhere.  Is this new to iMovie 10? How can I copy my events and projects to my external hard drive from imovie 10?
    If iMovie 10 is the issue, I will gladly begin using iMovie 9 again, but will need those events to get into iMovie 9.  Is there anyway to move movies in iMovie 10 to iMovie 9.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi bwright22,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to copy videos to and from an external hard disk in iMovie. Take a look at the article linked below, I believe it has the information that you're looking for.
    iMovie (2013): Work with multiple libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14745
    Show or hide the Libraries list
    You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
    To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button  on the left side of the toolbar.
    To hide the Libraries list: Click the Hide button  on the left side of the toolbar.
    You can also choose Window > Hide Libraries (or press Shift-Command-1).
    Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
    Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
    Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.
    You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, or create a new library.
    The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
    In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
    In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.
    Note:   To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
    Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

    I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
    What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
    The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
    So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

    I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.

  • I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    I have an external hard drive which has my i-photo on it & some movies from i-movie that I have on disk now. But for some reason my ehd has a caution symbol on it & I can't move my event to free up space on my hd so that I can export i-movie events. Help!

    Usually the caution symbol means that it's formatted as a PC compatible format like NTFS or most likely FAT32. For iMovie to use it the ehd must be formatted Mac OS Extended. Then iMovie will show it without the caution symbol and you can drag/drop open any Event/Project from that hard drive.
    To find out if it's formatted as PC:
    Go to the desktop, holding down the Control key click on that ehd and in the pop-menu choose 'Get Info'
    Under Format: It will say whether or not it's Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The only way to undo a PC formatted ehd would be to copy everything off of it first, Erase/Format the drive using Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder on your Mac, choosing the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format in the pull-down menu there.

  • How do you move events and projects between Libraries in iMove 10

    I am running OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) & iMovie 10.0.5.
    I am trying to free up space on my internal 1TB hard drive and want to archive events and completed projects onto an external hard drive, which has a second iMove v10 Library on.  Under V9 of iMovie this function was easy, but I am struggling under V10.
    What is the correct way to move events between libraries in iMovie. 
    When I attach the external drive containing my second iMovie Library, open it I can see all existing events stored (by move) under version 9 of iMovie.
    Reading the Help (extract below) for this function it implies highlight the Event to move & then drag & drop into the second Library.
    Shift+CMD with drag and drop onto the second library at the library name level will move Events that are not tied to a project, but for completed projects (Finalized under V9 or shared for example with iTunes in V10) it seems these can not be moved, the above function only copies them to the second library.
    I have tried all different combinations of the Fn, Ctrl, Option CMD keys etc with and without SHIFT and the ones that work for this function only copy the event. I can not seem to get an event moved once attached to a project. File - Move Event will also move Events not tied to a completed project.
    I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events.  Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
    What I have also not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
    I have been able to move Events not tied to a Project to the second Library, then create a new project within this Library.  This helps with all new projects & future import of Events. But does not help me free up current space by archiving.

    Further to my original post below; I have done further analysis and it seams that if you have events tied to a project (mine are all finalised) you can not move events between Libraries.  However, events that are not tied to a project can be moved. Either by Shift CMD or by using File- Move event.
    What I have not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
    Copy works for events attached to a project. I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events.  Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
    Does anyone know how to archive (move) Projects and/or events in iMovie 10.0.05 under Mavericks 10.9.5 to a second library on an external drive.
    Thanks
